    Neoliberalism greatly expanded the dominance of market forces through deregulation, privatization, and regressive forms of taxation, while significantly reducing the state’s role in the economy through cuts to labor, welfare, and social protections.

    Behind these economic reforms sat a new idea of what constitutes a good and free society—a concept about what direction we should all be striving in to become the best versions of ourselves. In the new neoliberal era, then, success would be reframed as a product of having exceptional individual qualities (rather than exceptional social privileges and advantages), while failure would be rooted in some kind of personal deficit (rather than in lack of opportunity, equality, or social support).



  • Emojis were a thing when people were chatting on MSN Messenger, ICQ, etc. Then people became older and it was seen as a young thing. This is why people were “against” it on Reddit.

    But, we are in 2023 and the emojis took the last couple of years the same trajectory as Facebook. It’s a boomer thing.

    You’re both right but not speaking about the same period.
